Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works Question
I can't afford to buy all the Dietrich Bonheoffer resources that are 45% off on the March Madness Sale. I will need to narrow it down to 3. I already have Creation and Fall.
What would be your recommendations?

I enjoyed reading Discipleship. I didn't like the Fiction from Tegel Prison as much.

Discipleship is almost universally seen as his classic, and just because of that should be read - so you know what people are saying about Bonhoeffer. After that I would pick Life Together and Ethics.

Another vote for Discipleship from me. After that the fall off is pretty sharp for another volume, imo.

There is one other work that I would like to add: Volume 8: Letters and Papers from Prison (German: Widerstand und Ergebung)

I was thinking about this one.. Theological Education at Finkenwalde
I already have Discipleship also.

Life Together is a beautiful work, and in the DBW it's coupled with a short but powerful work on the Psalms.
Discipleship is not only excellent, but one of the best Sermon on the Mount commentaries you'll find, I think.
Letters and Papers from Prison would probably be easier going than Ethics.
What I've read of Sanctorum Communio is also very good (he was a 21 when he defended it, his dissertation). But it's dense.

Actually, it's only in Pre-Pub now, but The Bonhoeffer Reader is probably the best place to start--worth trying to find in print if you can.

Thanks for the replies. I did look at the other post mentioned. All this helps point me in a good direction.
